Weekendness

beach day

Today was our first real beach day
And it was so nice
Its a lot closer then the beach was when we lived on the east coast
So I think we will be visiting pretty frequently
Now that I know how to get there and all

Its funny the little differences between the beach here and back east
For one the water is sooo much colder then it is in Jersey

William was fearless and splashed around
But there is no way you will catch me in there past my ankles anytime soon

Also the water is so blue here
I'm used to a greener hued ocean

And the sand seems to be much coarser
But maybe that was just the beach we were on today
I don't know 

And I just can't get over the mountains
I feel like everywhere I look there are big beautiful mountains
Even at the beach!

Out West!

We are finally in our new home
Things are starting to get settled
I love our new house so much more then I expected
The location is amazing
Mountain views in just about every direction
The weather is perfect
70 degrees everyday so far and sunny

 The kids love it
They have lots of outside space to run
And the weather is so nice here is can actually use it
Back east there were maybe 3 months of the year
that we really spent our days outside
So they are really excited

The trip out here was long
But I was so amazed at how well the kids handled it
8+ hours of driving a day with 3 kids and a dog was a lot
but we made it here and it was so worth it
